Upload a file into Oracle database without using a temp file in the server.

Hello.
I need to upload a file into a Oracle database, but I have not permission to write a temp file in the aplication server. Because of this, I can't use a MultipartRequest object.
Does anybody know how to do this?
Thanks everybody for your help.

You can still use a MultiPart request.
Use the Apache FileUpload package.
Get the InputStream of the file being uploaded.
Now you can either store the file in memory by writing to a java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream or you can save the file to Oracle by writing it to a java.sql.Blob object using the Blob.setBinaryStream method. This Blob object can then be persisted to Oracle.
Unfortunately I don't have sample code readily available.

How to insert a image file into oracle database

hi all
can anyone guide me how to insert a image file into oracle database now
i have created table using
create table imagestore(image blob);
but when inserting i totally lost don't know what to do how to write query to insert image file

Hi I don't have time to explain really, I did have to do this a while ago though so I will post a code snippet. This is using the commons file upload framework.
Firstly you need a multi part form data (if you are using a web page). If you are not using a web page ignore this bit.
out.println("<form name=\"imgFrm\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"FileUploadServlet?thisPageAction=reloaded\" onSubmit=\"return submitForm();\"><input type=\"FILE\" name=\"imgSource\" size='60' class='smalltext' onKeyPress='return stopUserInput();' onKeyUp='stopUserInput();' onKeyDown='stopUserInput();' onMouseDown='noMouseDown(event);'>");
out.println("   <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit' class='smalltext'>");
out.println("</form>"); Import this once you have the jar file:
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.*;Now a method I wrote to upload the file. I am not saying that this is correct, or its the best way to do this. I am just saying it works for me.
private boolean uploadFile(HttpServletRequest request, HttpSession session) throws Exception {
        boolean result = true;
        String fileName = null;
        byte fileData[] = null;
        String fileUploadError = null;
        String imageType = "";
        String error = "";
        DiskFileUpload fb = new DiskFileUpload();
        List fileItems = fb.parseRequest(request);
        Iterator it = fileItems.iterator();
        while(it.hasNext()){
            FileItem fileItem = (FileItem)it.next();
            if (!fileItem.isFormField()) {
                fileName = fileItem.getName();
                fileData = fileItem.get();
                // Get the imageType from the filename extension
                if (fileName != null) {
                    int dotPos = fileName.indexOf('.');
                    if (dotPos >= 0 && dotPos != fileName.length()-1) {
                        imageType = fileName.substring(dotPos+1).toLowerCase();
                        if (imageType.equals("jpg")) {
                            imageType = "jpeg";
        String filePath = request.getParameter("FILE_PATH");
        session.setAttribute("filePath", filePath);
        session.setAttribute("fileData", fileData);
        session.setAttribute("fileName", fileName);
        session.setAttribute("imageType", imageType);
        return result;
     } And now finally the method to actually write the file to the database:
private int writeImageFile(byte[] fileData, String fileName, String imageType, String mode, Integer signatureIDIn, HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
        //If the previous code found a file that can be uploaded then
        //save it into the database via a pstmt
        String sql = "";
        UtilDBquery udbq = getUser(request).connectToDatabase();
        Connection con = null;
        int signatureID = 0;
        PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
        try {
            udbq.setUsePreparedStatements(true);
            con = udbq.getPooledConnection();
            con.setAutoCommit(false);
            if((!mode.equals("U")) || (mode.equals("U") && signatureIDIn == 0)) {
                sql = "SELECT SEQ_SIGNATURE_ID.nextval FROM DUAL";
                pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
                while(rs.next()) {
                   signatureID = rs.getInt(1);
                if (fileName != null && imageType != null) {
                    sql = "INSERT INTO T_SIGNATURE (SIGNATURE_ID, SIGNATURE) values (?,?)";
                    InputStream is2 = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileData);
                    pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                    pstmt.setInt(1, signatureID);
                    pstmt.setBinaryStream(2, is2, (int)(fileData.length));
                    pstmt.executeUpdate();
                    pstmt.close();
                    con.commit();
                    con = null;
            if(mode.equals("U") && signatureIDIn != 0) {
                signatureID = signatureIDIn.intValue();
                if (fileName != null && imageType != null) {
                    sql = "UPDATE T_SIGNATURE SET SIGNATURE = ? WHERE SIGNATURE_ID = ?";
                    InputStream is2 = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileData);
                    pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                    pstmt.setBinaryStream(1, is2, (int)(fileData.length));
                    pstmt.setInt(2, signatureID);
                    pstmt.executeUpdate();
                    pstmt.close();

Hi everyone!
The following are the steps to load a excell sheet to oracle table.i tried to be as simple as possible.
thanks
Step # 1
Prapare a data file (excel sheet) that would be uploaded to oracle table.
"Save As" a excel sheet to ".csv" (comma seperated values) format.
Then save as to " .dat " file.
e.g datafile.bat
1,Category Wise Consumption Summary,Expected Receipts Report
2,Category Wise Receipts Summary,Forecast Detail Report
3,Current Stock List Category Wise,Forecast rule listing
4,Daily Production Report,Freight carrier listing
5,Daily Transactions Report,Inventory Value Report
Step # 2
Prapare a control file that define the data file to be loaded ,columns seperation value,name and type of the table columns to which data is to be loaded.The control file extension should be " .ctl " !
e.g i want to load the data into tasks table ,from the datafile.dat file and having controlfile.ctl control file.
SQL> desc tasks;
Name Null? Type
TASK_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(14)
TASK_NAME VARCHAR2(120)
TASK_CODE VARCHAR2(120)
: controlfile.ctl
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'e:\datafile.dat'
INTO TABLE tasks
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
(TASK_ID INTEGER EXTERNAL,
TASK_NAME CHAR,
TASK_CODE CHAR)
The above is the structure for a control file.
Step # 3
the final step is to give the sqlldr command to execute the process.
sqlldr userid=scott/tiger@abc control=e:\controlfile.ctl log=e:\logfile.log

Can one import .odarc extention file into oracle database

Hi All,
When we asked client for their production data dump, we got a file with .odarc extention. I googled to find out about this file extention and found info mostly referring to User Productivity Kit. I assume that this file cannot be imported in to oracle database. Since my knowledge about this is limited, I want to find out if it's possible to import this file to oracle database or not. If it's possible what's the work around.
Environment details
OS : Windows server 2003 sp2
Oracle version : 11.2.0.1
Please ask me if the info is insufficient.
Thanks & Regards

Oracle can only process files created with :
1. Oracle exp (export tool) with imp
2. Oracle expdp (data pump export) with impdp
3. plain ASCII files with a column based format like CSV with SQL*Loader or external table
4. file containing Oracle SQL statements with SQL*Plus or similar tool.
Any other file type cannot be directly processed by Oracle.

Performance problems loading an XML file into oracle database

Hello ODI Guru's,
I am trying to load and XML file into the database after doing simple business validations. But the interface takes hours to complete.
1. The XML files are large in size >200 Mb. We have an XSD file for the schema definition instead of a DTD.
2. We used the external database feature for loading these files in database.
The following configuration was used in the XML Data Server:
jdbc:snps:xml?f=D:\CustomerMasterData1\CustomerMasterInitialLoad1.xml&d=D:\CustomerMasterData1\CustomerMasterInitialLoad1.xsd&re=initialLoad&s=CM&db_props=oracle&ro=true
3. Now we reverse engineer the XML files and created models using ODI Designer
4. Similar thing was done for the target i.e. an Oracle database table as well.
5. Next we created a simple interface with one-to-one mapping from the XSD schema to the Oracle database table and executed the interface. This execution takes more than one hour to complete.
6. We are running ODI client on Windows XP Professional SP2.
7. The Oracle database server(Oracle 10g 10.2.0.3) for the target schema as well as the ODI master and work repositories are on the same machine.
8. I tried changing the following properties but it is not making much visible difference:
use_prepared_statements=Y
use_batch_update=Y
batch_update_size=510
commit_periodically=Y
num_inserts_before_commit=30000
I have another problem that when I set batch_update_size to value greater that 510 I get the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: class org.xml.sax.SAXException
class java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException said -32413
at com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.v.a(v.java)
The main concern is why should the interface taking so long to execute.
Please send suggestions to resolve the problem.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Nikunj

Approximately how many rows are you trying to insert?
One of the techniques which I found improved performance for this scenario was to extract from the xml to a flat file, then to use SQL*LOADER or external tables to load the data into Oracle.

Import data from a Fixed Length File into Oracle database

Hi,
I would like to import data from a Fixed Length text file into a table using HTML DB application.
As of now, i have a .sql file(that uses external table) to import the data into Oracle tables
I would like to integrate this in my HTML DB application so that the user can directly import the data into the table.
Sample data
XXXYYYYZZZZZ
Data should be read to table that has
Col1 Col2 Col3
XXX YYYY ZZZZZ

Hi,
I would like to import data from a Fixed Length text
file into a table using HTML DB application.AFAIK, fixed length imports are not something you can do directly with the HTML DB tools or available APIs.
As of now, i have a .sql file(that uses external
table) to import the data into Oracle tables
I would like to integrate this in my HTML DB
application so that the user can directly import the
data into the table.Any fixed-length data needs to have a specification associated with it that indicates which character position begins a new column and what each column represents. Some also include what datatype should be used for each of those.
If you really want to do this I would suggest that you create a table that you can store the file spec in. It would probably have columns for field name, start position, length or end position, datatype and any alias/column name you might want to apply. You would then use this table in a PL/SQL procedure (probably a package with the main processing procedure and various supporting procedures/functions) to read the file into memory, apply the file spec to each line and then do inserts into your table.
Obviously, this is just a concept or strategy. Implementing it will depend on your PL/SQL skills and determination. If you want to pursue this strategy I'm sure you can find some jump-starts by doing a search on the PL/SQL forum.
This may not sound like an answer - but the answer is you need to code it to fit your requirements. Hope that helps.

How to load PDF files into oracle database and display them in APEX

Hi All,
We have a requirement for loading the Loading PDF files (lots of PDf files) to the oracle database and then display the PDF files in the Oracel APEX report.
So that User can view the PDF files. Our current APEX verison is 3.2..
Please let me know how to implement it and where to find the sample application!
Thanks in advanced!
Jane

Thanks Tony for your quick response!
We need to load a lot of PDfs (history + current).
I have a questions about the SQL loader. I am trying to insert a pdf file into a table by following the oracle loading sample:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/text.920/a96518/aload.htm
Example Data File: loader2.dat
This file contains the data to be loaded into each row of the table, articles_formatted.
Each line contains a comma separated list of the fields to be loaded in articles_formatted. The last field of every line names the file to be loaded in to the text column:
Ben Kanobi, plaintext,Kawasaki news article,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
But i don't know to where should I put my pdf file on the server.
for example:
,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
Where is the file 'kawasaki.txt'??
I try my local path, it didn't work. like c:\temp.
then I loaded teh PDf file into our server(/findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp) , and In my data file. I put the path
1, pdf_emp1,../findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp
but I got the error: the system can not find the file specified.
Where should I put the PDf files on the server and how to specify the path in the data file?
Thanks!

How to read\write text file into oracle database.

Hello,
I am having text file called getInfo in c:\temp folder. I would like to populate data from text file to data base. How to proceed. Could anybody help me out.
Thanks,
Shailu

Here is a web page with easy to follow instructions regarding external files: http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/ora/misc/ext_table.html.
Now I understand what all the excitement is over external tables.
"External tables can read flat files (that follow some rules) as though they were ordinary (although read-only) Oracle tables. Therefore, it is convenient to use external tables to load flat files into the DB." -from the above link.

How do I import Outlook Express message files into Outlook 2013 without using LiveMail

I bought a new Windows 7 computer and have copied the Outlook Express .dbx files from the old XP computer onto the new one. Outlook 2013 's import facility does not have a .dbx option. I do not want to use Windows Live for anything. How do
I import my Outlook Express mail files into Outlook 2013 ?

Hi,
It isn't only to Outlook 2013, other versions of Outlook cannot access the .dbx files directly.
In the situation, Windows Live Mail is needed to transfer the mail data to Outlook.

Is it possible to extract a PDF file into separate ones but using a specific file name that comes from the PDF page?

Hello,
I am unsure if this is possible but its worth asking.
I have a PDF document that contains 56 pages.
Each page has an 'Agreement Number' at the top left.
I have managed to successfully extract the pages into separate documents (56 documents) but they are all named the same but page 1, page 2, page 3 etc..
What i am trying to do is use these 'agreement numbers' in the extraction process so when they save i have 56 different files but they show the agreement number in the file name.
i have looked into changing the actual page numbers on the page thumbnails to see if you can do it that was to no avail.
any help would be much appreciated, or tell me i cant do it, at least i know ill be defeated.
PS i have around 6 or 7 PDF files with 50+ pages so its a long boring task if i need to go and rename all these.
Cheers
Jez

It would be possible in theory to do it with a folder-level script, provided the string you need is in exactly the same structural position on each page. You would use the doc.getPageNthWord() function to collect the string you want, then the doc.extractPages() function to save each page to a file.
See the Acrobat SDK documentation for help with scripting. http://bit.ly/AXISDKH

How do I import the data from Excel (.xls) file into Oracle Database table

I have an excel file with 5 columns of 5000 rows.
I have to import 5000 rows of data into my oracle table with
same column names & Data types.
What is the best advise for this ?
Thanks.
Srini

You can connect to Oracle from Excel directly. I know you can read data but am not sure if you can export data.
Other option is to import the data into Access.
Create an ODBC connection for Oracle
Use the to connect to Oracle from Access
